pokemon card with gold star Pokémon Cards: The Ultimate Collector's Guide – Kanto Shark the trusted official grading guarantees its condition Fresh from the grading room:

The flavor there is actually pretty cool, since the idea is that as the Phyrexians are invading, these legendary creatures are rising up to defend their plane

If not, there is better ramp most of the time at 4 mana

There are very few cards in Standard that deal with Smuggler's Copter, Dynavolt Tower, Kalitas, Traitor of Ghet, and Gideon, Ally of Zendikar for only three mana, and since our deck tends to gain a meaningful amount of life with Zulaport Cutthroat and Ayli, Eternal Pilgrim, losing three here and there isn't really a problem

Unsurprisingly, these veritable works of art command a high price on online marketplaces

For one effect the card is wildly over priced even with its good utility
